Retired From Surrogacy (my last journey...)
It was August 2022, I found out I was still testing positive for COVID while I was waiting to be admitted to the hospital. I was just at the end of the first trimester and had been dealing with pain in my chest, which terrified me because it felt a lot like what I had with my s, before I was diagnosed with HELLPS Syndrome. It was a very long wait. I was waiting in the ER waiting room for 18 hrs (no food, no water) before I was put in another waiting area (for those who are planning on doing a treatment plan/admitted to the hospital.) I found out that not only did I have COVID-19, but I had Gallstones lodged in my gallbladder that were stuck and were causing inflammation. The doctors wanted to have my gallbladder removed, but at the point of my pregnancy, it wasn't safe. So... after a hospital round of antibiotics for a few days. I was sent home with the remaining antibiotics. I didn't have issues again until after I had surrobabe, but more about that later.

Retired From Surrogacy
Good Morning! *Just letting you all know this was back in 2022 late summer* As I was watching the timer count down. My breathing became tight as I became more anxious. *BEEP BEEP BEEP* I blow out the breath I didn't realize I was holding in. Hands shaking I stand up from sitting on the ledge of the tub and step towards the bathroom counter. I open my eyes from the slowest blink I have ever done. I *gasp*, squeal and quietly let out an excited scream. The bright two pink lines staring back at me surprised it's as dark as it is because of how early I know I am. I got the BFP (Big Fat Positive) I was hoping for. Hands still shaking, I immediately take a photo of the test to send to the dads. It was morning where I was and evening where they were. They replied within a few short minutes. Excited... but also want to wait for blood tests. Which was understandable. My blood test was booked for the next day.

Retired From Surrogacy
Good evening all! I am writing this a year and a half after completing my last surrogacy journey. I am sorry I haven't updated you sooner, but hopefully, I can catch you up... Let's see where I left off... Oh yes, we were waiting for my PAP results. Well, They returned with some abnormal results, which were not concerning. We just needed to keep an eye on it. (I will come back to this later).

Safe sex
In order for pregnancy to occur after sexual intercourse, sperm must travel up the vagina, through the cervical opening, upwards through the uterus, and into one of the two fallopian tubes where an egg may be located. Contraceptives, or birth control, consist of various methods to prevent pregnancy and sometimes, sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The development and use of contraceptives have played a key role in enabling individuals and couples to manage their reproductive health and family planning. The wide range of contraceptive options available today caters to diverse needs, preferences, and health considerations, reflecting advances in medical science and changes in societal views on reproductive rights. Contraceptives are designed to prevent this process through various means. They can block sperm, disable sperm before reaching the uterus, or suppress ovulation.
